Yep, water migrating thru the wall will drag the salts with it.If you want to go to extremes, you could saturate the wall and then put a poultice on it, let it dry and the salts will crystalise out on the surface of the poultice, which you then remove.

Stunning @silu any pics yet this year.

It would be even easier to maintain if you put slabs down instead of gravel. As you don't have a large area to do you may be able to pick up some slabs cheaply. Some of the builder's merchants do 'end of lines'. They're not usually real end of lines (no longer manufactured) but just what's...

No worries and thanks for the heads up

Hello friends,Around my country house à built this wrap around porch.3 sections: Covered, raised and under deck storage.Steps: ----> My wrap around porch

Hi Igloo,I've only just caught up with this thread.You've done a fantastic job, you should be proud There are many lovely climbers out there, both perennial and annual. In fact for some near instant colour you can still pick up pots of Sweet Peas to plant direct where they're to flower.

If your never likely to use it again, its worth it.If you think you might need it to put up the odd shelf, might be worth buying one.

Sounds like the Manneken Pis here in Belgium

Thank you all! I realise now that the picture is quiet dark, but I assure you it's actually quite light in that corner for the Rose - fingers crossed it grows a bit!It's not as fantastically green as I'd like as we're a little concerned about the potential for things in pots to go missing...

Like others have said, I'd go for groups of containers.I don't know if they are available in the UK, but here we do get some lovely large half-barrels, that are used to mature young red wine in (can only be used once, and then disposed of, so relatively cheap for their size). The advantage of...

That's lovely Michael! What a good idea!

Hi i made this today, its not finished yet, the wood is from Wickes, it was bought untreated, just short of £20 for ten lengths, treat it with linseed oil as i have done and it will last for many years.

Thats part of what makes gardening interesting...one never knows what will happen.

Looking good! Im hoping to do something very similar myself soon!
